Abstract

The present research fabricated a dissimilar friction stir welded joints of AA6161 and AA5083 by incorporating Nano-sized Al2O3 nanoparticles. The effect of multipass friction stir welding (FSW) on the dispersion pattern of Al2O3 nanoparticles and the impact of particles’ dispersion on microstructure and various mechanical characteristics was investigated. The results demonstrated that multi-pass FSW had significant impacts on the Al2O3 nanoparticles’ distribution. Furthermore, the dispersion pattern of Al2O3 nanoparticles in the stir zone strongly influenced the microstructure and mechanical characteristics. The results obtained from mechanical testing after a microstructural study corroborate multi-pass FSW. Tensile strength, strain rate, and micro-hardness of the Al2O3 reinforced joints of AA6061/AA5083 were improved after implementing multi-pass FSW. The improvement in the mechanical characteristics was observed via higher grain refinement by pinning effect and dynamic recrystallization by Al2O3 nanoparticles. The tensile strength after one, two and three FSW passes were observed to be 227.3, 257.4 and 272.7 MPa, with a % strain of 24.4, 26.8 and 30.7, respectively. Furthermore, the hardness value after 1 pass, 2 pass, and 3 pass FSW were 127.1, 136.4 and 145.7 HV, respectively.
